We now know too much about the ‘natural world
informer,’ in particular evolution, to ignore this when it comes to credibly
interpreting Genesis1-3.

Reflection for the Week - July 24
Faithful biblical interpretation does not stop when
the reader experiences the meaning of the text, but only when that experienced
meaning is lived out towards the other and into the world. Once this action
takes place there is then a retro movement back from other and world to the
reader, who then re-engages and is re-engaged by the text, in order to prepare
for a new encounter. Responsible interpretation means that readers must know
what to do with meaning, since this is not information to be stored or defended
as ideology or utopia, but it is to be lived in continual pursuit for optimal
understanding.

Proposing fresh interpretations of Genesis 1-3 in light of evolution should result in exploring new views of the authority of the biblical text.

Thursday Thoughts - July 20
One of the shocking things that arises when discussing
imagination with Christians is that they often see imagination as merely
something to be avoided, or are almost oblivious of its existence all together.
This perspective is not only unfortunate, but unrealistic and stifling.
